The Secret?A Pandora?s Box?

EUGENE, OREGON?June 25, 2007?Oprah Winfrey swears by it, Larry King promotes it, and over two million people have purchased it, but Rhonda Byrne?s bestseller, The Secret, contains a hidden, darker dimension, a deeper ?secret? that very few have known about?until now.

In The Truth Behind The Secret (July), apologetics experts James Walker and Bob Waldrep pull back the curtain on the source of the teachings found in The Secret. Combining years of experience in the areas of cults and new religious movements, they offer a fascinating analysis of the origin, teaching, philosophy, and consequences of this sweeping cultural phenomenon, exposing the truth behind:

• Claims that The Secret is supported by science and quantum physics
• The Law of Attraction?in other words, ?thoughts become things?
• The connection between The Secret and the doctrines of the Mind Science religions
• Ethical and moral issues surrounding Byrne?s teaching
• The modern secret ?teachers?

By providing an accurate background on the source of The Secret and its creator Rhonda Byrne, Walker and Waldrep uncover startling information about the occultist influences linked to The Secret phenomena that has captivated so many.

Byrne?s ?secret? is that we can create things out of nothing or attract them from the universe by the powers of our mind, but is this true? Furthermore, exactly who or what were these spirit beings or ?nonphysical entities? featured in the rare, first edition of The Secret, and cryptically referred to in Byrne?s current book, which acknowledges ?Jerry and Esther Hicks and the teaching of Abraham??
